Faegre Baker Daniels LLP is heading to California to open an office in Silicon Valley.

Initially the law firm will focus on providing intellectual property services including patent, trade secret, copyright and
trademark litigation as well as IP transactions. Over time, it plans to expand the offerings, possibly to food and agriculture
litigation, immigration and privacy.

Faegre Baker Daniels has worked with clients based in California for several years, according to the firm’s managing
partner Andrew Humphrey.

The office will be located in Palo Alto and is expected to open July 1. Two intellectual property partners, Calvin Litsey
and David Gross, will relocate from the firm’s Minneapolis office.

“The strategy of seeding this office with existing firm partners was very important,” Litsey stated in a press
release. “Faegre Baker Daniels’ culture and client focus are key differentiators for us, and we didn’t want
to lose those aspects of the firm’s identity in this expansion.”

Faegre has offices throughout the U.S., including four in Indiana, as well as locations in China and London.
